Afraid of the Interstate Law.

ST. PAUL, May 9.-The chamber of COM
merce last week passed resolution asking
that fast trains be put on from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago. This morning the
transportation committee reports that the
Minnesota & Northwestern road said that
the illinois Central road was not disposed
to join them in running limited train, and
that therefore, until the completion of its
own line to Chicago, about November 1st,
it would be impossible. The Milwaukee
road and the Wisconsin Central said that
the volume of business was less than last
year, and fast trains could not at present
be run without loss. Mr.. Miller, of Mil
waukee, said further that the workings of
the interstate law upon revenues was un-
certain, and that it was desirable first to as
certain its effect An effort is being made
by the different roads to make east bound

The Transcontinental Roads.

CHICAGO, May 6-At to-day's meeting
of transcontinental railway representa-
tives the fact was made clear that not
withstanding the willingness of the Can
adian Pacific to enter the combination of
overland roads, the prospect of such a
combination being formed is not particu-
larly promising. Granting differential
rates to the Canadian Pacific to induce it
to join is raising unexpected obstacles.
The Northern Pacific wants slice of the
California business, and being a water
route from Portland to San Francisco, it
was to make lower rates than direct lines.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe objects
to giving ditferentials to any line. The
general opinion tonight was that present
rates on certain articles will be modified
and made so low that if the Canadian Pa
cific gets any of the business it will be
forced to haul it at a loss.

MRS. BEECHER's LETTERS.

Keeping Tales Of Woe From Him.
8. E. Adams, Of this city, is in possession of
letters written by Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher
in 1881 and 1882, in which she speaks Of the
trying times growing out Of the Beecher-Til-
ton scandal, their own poverty and Mr..
Beecher's arduous duties. These letters
prove her sublime self abnegation.
Under date Of Feb. 8, 1881, Mrs. Beecher
wrote: "You should see the immense pile of
unopened letters before me, the punishment
for two days absence from the city. Nearly
nine-tenths are addressed to Mr.. Beecher, but
he never reads letters unless there Is some
matter that he alone can decide, which is not
often the case. Thousands come to us that
he never sees, consequently they do not
trouble his brain, or, what would be more &C.
rious, grieve his tender heart. All correspon-
dence is left to me, one of the cheerfully &C.
cepted but onerous duties resulting from be-
ing the wife Of such man."
On June Z, 1882. she writes: "The pitiless
blackmail persecution to which my husband
was subjected few years ago turned our
heads white before our time and nearly broke
my heart at last. That trial cost us $16O, 600.
We were not worth 100000. The impression
seems to be general that he Is a wealthy man.
He never was. but when comfortably well of
his overflowing generosity enabled him to lay
by nothing of any account. Sometimes now
If did not discreetly purloin the contents of
his too liberal pockets the household expenses
would remain unpaid. He cannot help re-
turning moneyless because of the tales of
woe that seem to lie in wait for him upon the
street. Since that terrible trial he has worked
lncessantly, to the detriment of his health,
preaching, lecturing, writing, hoping to lift
the heavy mortage from our home here Co.
lumbia Heights, Brooklyn, but it had to be
sold in the spring"
On Nov. z, 1882, Mrs. Beecher alludes to
the 1.-TWO or three bushels of letters that have
accumulated during Mr.. Beecher's vacation.
to say nothing of all that followed us into the
country" She speaks of the innumerable pe-
titions for help, and exclaims, "Oh, that
the whole world could know that we are
poor. poor, poor in everything but the ability
to grieve for WOES we have not the power to
aid. From the letters T have classed as
genuine find that the sums 80 pitifully
pleaded for aggregate over 100000"
Referring to this subject in another letter,
she says: "What can / do but half break
my heart over SORROWS that my dear husband
could not alleviate were they known to him.
1t would make him i'll to read the letters,
This suffering can spare him."
In her self abnegation she makes NO moan
"because this suffering IL vicariously visited
upon her." In a letter written in December,
1882, she speaks once more of that "infamous
blackmail scheme, and adds: II am conf
dent that history will refer to it as the most
cruel and conscienceless Of this or any other
century. ."-Detroit Special In New York

fenced to Jail tor three years, was released
on writ of habeas corpus by Magistrate
Staffer. The affair has created sensa-

magistrates court overruling the decision
of the court of appeals. Magistrate Staffer
decides that the old common law of Eng
land and Virginia, on which the imprison-
ment of Cornelison was sentenced, does not
enter into the statutes of Kentucky, and
consequently imprisonment was illegal.

In addition to peas there are a few
other crops whose planting may still
continue, success being dependent
more upon seasons. 1t should be
remembered that late planted crops
reqvire rich soil and deep preparation
Forage crops of corn, miIlett, sor-
ghum, etc., may still be made, but
will not amount to much without
good ground good preparation and
reasonable seasons. If such plant
ings be made and the plants started
oft in July, the August rains are
frequently sufficient to mature fine
yields. We have had fine success
with cat-ta1l millett sown even so
hate a. August lst. The best potatoes
for keeping, as we'll as planting next
spring, are made from vines set out
in well-plowed, good sol, throughout
the month of July, those planted
early in the month often making
a. large tubers as may be desired,
and the later sufficiently large for
ordinary use aud for seed, There is

they are much cheaper o. they make
